The Year of the Wisconsin Idea
To celebrate 100 years of upholding the Wisconsin Idea, UW–Madison’s longstanding principle that the university should improve people’s lives beyond the classroom, an interactive Year of the Wisconsin Idea website has been launched. It features a searchable database of more than 1,000 examples of the Wisconsin Idea in action, a history and timeline of the development of the Wisconsin Idea, a calendar of the year’s events, a Twitter feed, and an invitation for UW faculty, staff, students, and the public to upload personal statements about what the Wisconsin Idea means to them.
